Bonus Episode: RD's Speech to CFI Michigan

Back in June the doubtcasters were invited by CFI Michigan to give a presentation about the podcast. Here is a recording of that speech entitled "Reasonable Doubts: Answering the Apologists." It's an overview of the show's content including our favorite topics from past episodes.

In the interview you mention your main competition is Dan Barker and the Freethought Radio Podcast. I subscribe to both, and RD is best by far. To borrow an analogy of Paul, RD is the meat, whilst Freethought is just milk. Thanks for the great podcast guys, and especially the deeper and extended commentary instead of fluff.

While sitting at work today in Melbourne, Australia, I was listening to the podcast Everyday Ethics from the BBC, Radio Ulster, when the good doctor is introduced in order to discuss his profile's of the godless.

Loved this episode (I'm a bit behind as I only get time to listen to podcasts when I get to my allotment - ah well). It reminded me of RD20 was it? The first one I listened to anyhow and I could smell the campfire smoke. Right then I decided you guys were the sort of good folk I'd like to know. Of course, I've since listened to lots of your snarky episodes and realized I was hoodwinked. Too late, I was hooked :*)

Just recently subscribed to this podcast and have gone back to listen to older ones. I was just listening to this one and noticed you mentioned countries where you have listeners and ended with Texas.

You're right, most of your Texas listeners are probably in Austin, but I'm in Houston... and I might be the only one left alive. I feel like I'm in Shaun of the dead, the part where they try to blend in with the Zombies.

I love your show. Keep it up, and thank you for the voice in the dark.
